Description
Carios by Parfums de Marly is a bold, powerful expression that commands attention with its dynamic contrast of sparkling citrus and deep spices. The vibrant fusion of bergamot, red mandarin, and pink peppercorn opens with invigorating freshness, immediately followed by an aromatic heart of red thyme and geranium, anchored with black pepper. Its base of cedarwood, vetiver, ambroxan, and roasted tonka bean imparts remarkable longevity and a refined, woody warmth. Designed to radiate presence and ambition, Carios balances both luxury and assertiveness in every spray.
